TECHNICAL FIELD

This disclosure relates to enclosure assemblies and related systems and methods for providing enhanced cooling of a direct drive unit (DDU), such as a direct drive turbine (DDT) connected to a gearbox for driving a driveshaft connected to a pump for use in a hydraulic fracturing systems and methods.

BACKGROUND

During fracturing operations, the equipment onboard fracturing trailers utilizes extensive cooling to facilitate operation throughout the pumping stage. The fracturing pump may have, for example, up to 5% energy loss of energy through heat rejection during operation. Such heat rejection may enter bearings, connecting rods, the casing, clamps and other highly temperature sensitive components in the pumps power end. These components are typically kept lubricated and cooled using lube oil that is pumped continuously through circuits into the pump ensuring that the lube oil is cascaded around the crank case of the fluid pump.

Heat rejection from the pump is still absorbed into the oil, however, and this oil is cooled through a lubrication circuit to ensure that the oil remains at a manageable temperature set out by regulation and/or pump original equipment manufacturers (OEMs). The cooling of oil may be achieved by diverting the oil to a heat exchanger (for example, a fan driven heat exchanger, tube and shell heat exchanger, or other heat exchanger as will be understood by those skilled in the art.) that is be sized and configured to be able to remove enough heat from the fluid that will allow the oil to enter the crank case again and absorb more heat rejection.

This cooling cycle may occur constantly onboard fracturing trailers with the operations of the heat exchangers at times being hydraulically or electrically driven. The need for higher power rated fracturing pumps, for example, 5000 HP or 7000 HP rated fracturing pumps, may require larger cooling packages to be able to manage the heat rejection. Accordingly, more heat rejection may directly correlate to the physical footprint of the cooling systems.

SUMMARY OF THE DISCLOSURE

In view of the foregoing, there is an ongoing need for an enclosure assembly and related systems and methods that are more suitable for cooling the DDU of a pumping system, as well as for high-pressure and high-power operations.

Accordingly, it may be seen that a need exists for managing the location of cooling systems to minimize physical footprint, for managing associated power resources efficiently, and for providing effective cooling for fracturing pumps and DDUs. The present disclosure addresses these and other related and unrelated problems in the art.

One exemplary embodiment of the disclosure includes an enclosure assembly to enhance cooling of a hydraulic fracturing direct drive unit (DDU) during operation. An enclosure body may be provided extending at least partially around an enclosure space to house the DDU, which may include a turbine engine that is mechanically connected to a gearbox for driving a driveshaft connected to the gearbox in order to drive a fluid pump. The enclosure assembly may include one or more heat exchanger assemblies connected to the enclosure body for cooling a process fluid associated with one or more of the DDU and the fluid pump, for example, a lubrication or other lubrication medium, and/or a hydraulic/working fluid that is heated during operation. The one or more heat exchanger assemblies may include one or more intake fan assemblies positioned in fluid communication with an external environment surrounding the enclosure body, and one or more intake fan motors may be operatively connected to the one or more intake fan assemblies. Thus, when the one or more intake fan motors is activated, the one or more intake fan assemblies may draw air into the enclosure space from the external environment at the one or more intake fan assemblies and along an airflow path through the enclosure space. One or more radiator assemblies may further be included in the one or more heat exchanger assemblies for receiving the process fluid, and positioned adjacent the one or more intake fan assemblies in the airflow path through the enclosure space to cool the process fluid with air from the external environment as it flows toward the radiator assembly.

In addition, the enclosure assembly may include one or more outlet fan assemblies positioned in fluid communication with the external environment. Accordingly, to maintain a desired temperature of the enclosure space, the one or more outlet fan assemblies may be operatively connected to one or more outlet fan motors to discharge air from the enclosure space to the external environment when the one or more outlet fan motors is activated such that airflow heated by the cooling of the process fluid may be ventilated from the enclosure assembly. The enclosure assembly may also include one or more temperature sensors to detect a temperature of the enclosure space and, further, one or more controllers in electrical communication with the one or more temperature sensors. The one or more controllers may be operatively connected to one or more of the one or more intake fan motors and the one or more outlet fan motors. In this regard, the one or more controllers may activate the respective one or more intake fan motors and the one or more outlet fan motors to rotate the respective one or more intake fan assemblies and the one or more outlet fan assemblies responsive to a predetermined temperature signal from the one or more temperature sensors to discharge heated air from and maintain a desired temperature of the enclosure space.

Another exemplary embodiment of the disclosure includes a fluid pumping system for high-pressure, high-power hydraulic fracturing operations. The system may include a direct drive unit (DDU) having a turbine engine mechanically connected to a gearbox for driving a driveshaft, and a fluid pump operatively connected to the DDU by the driveshaft for driving the fluid pump. Accordingly, one or more of the DDU and the fluid pump may generate and heat process fluid during operation, which may include lubrication oil or another lubrication medium, and/or a hydraulic or other working fluid. The system may include an enclosure assembly having an enclosure body extending around an enclosure space to house the DDU, and one or more or more heat exchanger assemblies connected to the enclosure body for cooling process fluid associated with one or more of the DDU and the fluid pump. The one or more heat exchanger assemblies of the system may include one or more intake fan assemblies positioned in fluid communication with an external environment surrounding the enclosure body, and one or more intake fan motors may be operatively connected to the one or more intake fan assemblies. When the one or more intake fan motors is activated, the one or more intake fan assemblies may draw air into the enclosure space from the external environment at the one or more intake fan assemblies and along an airflow path through the enclosure space. One or more radiator assemblies may be included in the one or more heat exchanger assemblies for receiving the process fluid, and may be positioned adjacent the one or more intake fan assemblies in the airflow path through the enclosure space to cool the process fluid with the air drawn in from the external environment as it flows through the radiator assembly.

The system's enclosure assembly may also include one or more outlet fan assemblies positioned in fluid communication with the external environment. In order to maintain a desired temperature of the enclosure space, the one or more outlet fan assemblies may be operatively connected to one or more outlet fan motors to discharge air from the enclosure space to the external environment when the one or more outlet fan motors is activated so that airflow in the enclosure space that has been heated from the cooling of the process fluid may be ventilated from the enclosure assembly. The enclosure assembly of the system may also include one or more temperature sensors to detect a temperature of the enclosure space and, further, one or more controllers in electrical communication with the one or more temperature sensors. The one or more controllers may be operatively connected to one or more of the one or more intake fan motors and the one or more outlet fan motors. In this regard, the one or more controllers may activate the respective one or more intake fan motors and the one or more outlet fan motors to rotate the respective one or more intake fan assemblies and the one or more outlet fan assemblies responsive to a predetermined temperature signal from the one or more temperature sensors to discharge heated air from and maintain a desired temperature of the enclosure space

Still another exemplary embodiment of the disclosure includes a method of enhancing cooling during operation of a hydraulic fracturing direct drive unit (DDU) having a turbine engine mechanically connected to a gearbox. The method may include operating the DDU to drive a driveshaft operatively connected to a fluid pump such that one or more of the turbine engines and the fluid pump generate and heat process fluid, for example, a lubrication or other lubrication medium, and/or a hydraulic/working fluid. The method may include detecting a temperature in an enclosure space of an enclosure assembly housing the DDU with one or more temperature sensors, and, further, controlling one or more intake fan assemblies of one or more heat exchanger assemblies in the enclosure space to draw air from an external environment into an airflow through the enclosure space based upon a temperature signal detected by the one or more temperature sensors. In this regard, the method may include cooling the process fluid by directing airflow from the one or more intake fan assemblies toward one or more radiator assemblies of the one or more heat exchangers carrying the process fluid. The method may further include controlling one or more outlet fan assemblies to discharge airflow heated by the cooling of the process fluid to the external environment to maintain a desired temperature in the enclosure space.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

The embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to enclosure assemblies to enhance cooling of a hydraulic fracturing direct drive unit (DDU) during operation. The embodiments of the present disclosure may be directed to such enclosure assemblies for enhanced cooling of DDUs associated with high-pressure, high-power hydraulic fracturing operations.

FIG. 1A illustrates a schematic view of a pumping unit 111 for use in a high-pressure, high power, fluid pumping system 113 (FIG. 1B) for use in hydraulic fracturing operations according to an embodiment of the disclosure. FIG. 1B shows a typical pad layout of the pumping units 111 (indicated as FP1, FP2, FP3, FP4, FP5, FP6, FP7, FP8) with the pumping units all operatively connected to a manifold M that is operatively connected to a wellhead W.

By way of an example, the system 113 is a hydraulic fracturing application that may be sized to achieve a maximum rated horsepower of 24,000 HP for the pumping system 113, including a quantity of eight (8) 3000 horsepower (HP) pumping units 111 that may be used in one embodiment of the disclosure. It will be understood that the fluid pumping system 113 may include associated service equipment such as hoses, connections, and assemblies, among other devices and tools. As shown in FIG. 1A, each of the pumping units 111 are mounted on a trailer 115 for transport and positioning at the jobsite. Each pumping unit 111 includes an enclosure assembly 121 that houses a direct drive unit (DDU) 123 including a gas turbine engine 125 operatively connected to a gearbox 127 or other mechanical transmission.

The pumping unit 111 has a driveshaft 131 operatively connected to the gearbox 127. The pumping unit 111 includes a high-pressure, high-power, reciprocating positive displacement pump 133 that is operatively connected to the DDU 123 via the driveshaft 131. In one embodiment, the pumping unit 111 is mounted on the trailer 115 adjacent the DDU 123.

The trailer 115 includes other associated components such as a turbine exhaust duct 135 operatively connected to the gas turbine engine 125, air intake duct 137 operatively connected to the gas turbine, and other associated equipment hoses, connections, or other components as will be understood by those skilled in the art to facilitate operation of the fluid pumping unit 111.

In the illustrated embodiment, the gas turbine engine 125 may be a Vericor Model TF50F bi-fuel turbine; however, the DDU 123 may include other gas turbines or suitable drive units, systems, and/or mechanisms suitable for use as a hydraulic fracturing pump drive without departing from the disclosure. In one embodiment, the fluid pumping system 113 may include a turbine engine that uses diesel or other fuel as a power source. The gas turbine engine 125 is cantilever mounted to the gearbox 127, with the gearbox 127 supported by the floor of the enclosure assembly 121.

It should also be noted that, while the disclosure primarily describes the systems and mechanisms for use with DDUs 123 to operate fracturing pumping units 111, the disclosed systems and mechanisms may also be directed to other equipment within the well stimulation industry such as, for example, blenders, cementing units, power generators and related equipment, without departing from the scope of the disclosure.

FIGS. 2 and 4 illustrate an enclosure assembly 121 that houses the DDU 123 according to an exemplary embodiment of the disclosure. As shown, the enclosure assembly 121 includes an enclosure body 165 that may extend at least partially around an enclosure space 122 to house one or more portion of the DDU 123 therein. The enclosure space 122 may also be sized and configured to accommodate other DDU/engine equipment, for example, a driveshaft interface, fuel trains, an exhaust system flanged connection, a fire suppression system, bulkheads, exhaust ducting, engine air intake ducting, hydraulic/pneumatic bulkhead hoses, inspection doors/hatches, or other components and equipment as will be understood by those skilled in the art.

In one embodiment, the enclosure body 165 may be a generally box-like or cuboid arrangement of walls, including a first side wall 167, a second side wall 169 opposite the first side wall 167, and an opposing front wall 171 and rear wall 173 each extending from the first side wall 167 to the second side wall 169. The enclosure body 165 may also include a roof/top wall 166 (FIG. 4 ) and a floor/bottom wall 168. In one embodiment, the floor 168 may be formed of a solid base steel material mounted on a skid structure.

Referring additionally to FIG. 3 , one or more of the walls of the enclosure body 165 may be provided with sound-attenuating, e.g., vibration-dampening, properties to minimize the transmission of sound from one or more operations of the DDU 123, e.g., running of the turbine engine 125 and/or the gearbox 127, from the enclosure space 122 to an external environment surrounding the enclosure body 165. In this regard, the walls of the enclosure body 165 may have a configuration in which multiple layers are arranged to provide sound attenuation. Other sound-attenuating features may be incorporated into the construction of the enclosure assembly 121. For example, the gearbox 127 may be provided with shock-absorbing feet or mounts that minimize the transmission of vibrations to the enclosure body 165.

In one embodiment, the walls of the enclosure body 165 may include an outer metallic layer 171, a foam or other polymeric layer 173 and a composite layer 175, and in inner or liner metallic layer 177, with the foam layer 173 and the composite layer 175 positioned between the metallic layers 171, 177.

In one embodiment, the walls 167, 169, 171, 173 of the enclosure body 165 may be formed from approximately 12″×12″ panels with an overall thickness of about 4.5″ to about 5.25″ that may clip, snap, or otherwise connect together in a generally modular arrangement, and the outer metallic layer 171 may be, for example, a 22 ga perforated aluminum sheet, the foam layer 173 may be, for example, a 1″ foam layer, the composite layer 175 may be, for example, a 3″-4″ layer of mineral wool, and the inner metallic layer 177 may be, for example, perforated 22 ga aluminum. The roof 166 of the enclosure body 165 may have a similar arrangement, with an overall thickness of, for example, about 2″ and having the foam layer 173 at a thickness of about, for example, 1.5″. The enclosure body 165 may have a different arrangement without departing from the disclosure.

Still referring to FIG. 2 , a plurality of doors may be movably connected/attached to the enclosure body 165, e.g., to provide access to the enclosure space 122 for inspections, maintenance, or other operations as will be understood by those skilled in the art. A pair of doors 179 may be hingeably connected/attached to the first side wall 167 of the enclosure body 165 to provide access to the enclosure space 122 through openings formed in the first side wall 167 upon movement of the doors 179.

A door 181 may also be movably connected to the second side wall 169 of the enclosure body 165 to provide access to the enclosure space 122 along the second side wall 169. In one embodiment, the door 181 may be slidably connected/attached to the second side wall 169 on rails, tracks, or other guides as will be understood by those skilled in the art, such that slidable movement of the door 181 exposes an opening in the second side wall 169 through which an operator may access the enclosure space 122. In one embodiment, the door 181 may have one or more foldable or otherwise reconfigurable portions.

With additional reference to FIG. 4 , a generally horizontal partition 183 may extend in general parallel relation with the roof 166 and the floor 168 of the enclosure body 165 so as to provide an upper compartment 185 and a lower compartment 187 of the enclosure space 122. In one embodiment, the upper compartment 185 may include an air intake assembly that may include an arrangement of ducts, fans, ports, filtration assemblies, blowers, compressors, cooling coils, or other components as will be understood by those skilled in the art, to feed filtered air into the turbine engine 123 positioned in the lower compartment 187.

In view of the foregoing, the enclosure assembly 121 may be provided with a generally weatherproof or weather-resistant configuration that is sufficiently robust for use in hydraulic fracturing applications, and which additionally provides sound attenuation properties for enclosed and associated equipment. For example, the enclosure assembly 121 may provide sufficient sound attenuation emanating from one or more incorporated heat exchanger assemblies, as described further herein.

During various operations of the pumping unit 133, e.g., startup and shutdown procedures, idling, maintenance cycles, active driving of the pumping unit 133, or other operations as will be understood by those skilled in the art, heat may be generated in one or more portions of the pumping unit 133, for example, via frictional engagement of components of the pumping unit 133 such as pistons, bores, or other components as will be understood by those skilled in the art. In this regard, the pumping unit 133 may employ a fluid heat transfer medium, e.g., a natural or synthetic lubrication oil, to absorb heat from the pumping unit 133 via fluid convection to reduce heat in one or more portions of the DDU 123.

Similarly, during various operations of the DDU 123, heat may be generated by one or more portions of the turbine engine 125 and the gearbox 127. The DDU 123 may thus also employ a fluid heat transfer medium to absorb heat from the DDU 123 via fluid convection to reduce heat in one or more portions of the DDU 123.

Further, various hydraulic components of the fluid pumping system 113, e.g., actuators, motors, pumps, blowers, coolers, filters, or other hydraulic components as will be understood by those skilled in the art, that receive pressurized hydraulic fluid or working fluid therethrough may cause such hydraulic fluid/working fluid to increase in temperature during the course of such operation.

The aforementioned fluid heat transfer media, hydraulic fluids/working fluids, and other thermally conductive fluids associated with the fluid pumping system 113 may be collectively referred to as process fluids associated with the respective components of the fluid pumping system 113 herein.

In this regard, the fluid pumping system 113 may include one or more heat exchanger assemblies for cooling/reducing heat in the aforementioned process fluids. Turning to FIG. 5 , a heat exchanger assembly 189A according to an exemplary embodiment of the disclosure is schematically illustrated. In the illustrated embodiment, the heat exchanger assembly 189A may be connected to, e.g., attached, mounted, or otherwise supported by, the enclosure body 165. While the heat exchanger assembly 189A is illustrated as being positioned in the enclosure space 122, it will be understood that the heat exchanger assembly 189A may be connected to the enclosure body 165 and at least partially positioned outside thereof without departing from the disclosure.

Still referring to FIG. 5 , the heat exchanger assembly 189A may include one or more intake fan assemblies 193, one or more intake fan motors 195 operatively connected to the intake fan assembly 193, and one or more radiator assemblies 197 positioned adjacent the intake fan assembly 193. The heat exchanger assembly 189A may be positioned in alignment with a cutout or opening in the enclosure body 122, e.g., so that the heat exchanger assembly 189A may be in at least partial fluid communication with an external environment E surrounding the enclosure assembly 121. In one embodiment, such cutout or opening may be at least partially covered with a mounting plate 194 which may be connected to the heat exchanger assembly 189A.

A sealing member 198, for example, a gasket or other polymeric member, may be positioned between the heat exchanger assembly 189A and the enclosure body 165, for example, to inhibit the migration or leakage of fluids between the heat exchanger assembly 189A and the enclosure body 165.

The one or more intake fan assemblies 193 may include one or more fans 205 (FIG. 6 ) rotatably connected to the intake fan motor 195 such that, upon receiving a driving signal or other modality of actuation, the intake fan motor 195 rotates the one or more fans 205 to rotate and circulate air through the enclosure space 122. Such rotatable connection between the intake fan motor 195 and the fan 205 may be a driveshaft, coupling, or other mechanical transmission. The fan 205 may have a plurality of blades/arms for forcing/urging air into an airflow. In this regard, the fan 205 may be provided with blades/arms having a length, pitch, shape, or other features as will be understood by those skilled in the art, configured to influence airflow in a preselected direction.

As shown, the one or more radiator assemblies 197 is positioned adjacent the intake fan assembly 193. In one embodiment, the radiator assembly 197 may be configured as a tube-and-shell heat exchanger, in which one or more conduits (e.g., tubes, ducts, hoses, fluid lines, or other conduits as will be understood by those skilled in the art) extend along bulkhead fittings on the enclosure body 122 and through an interior of a housing shell 207 to route the process fluid over a sufficient surface area to effect cooling of the process fluid.

The conduits extending through the housing shell 207 may carry process fluid in the form of a fluid heat exchange medium, hydraulic fluid/working fluid, or other fluid. As described further herein, the radiator assembly 197 may be positioned in an airflow path at least partially provided by the intake fan assembly 193 to remove heat from the process fluid running through the conduits. In one embodiment, the radiator assembly 197 may be covered by/positioned adjacent one or more layers of mesh or otherwise porous material.

Referring to FIGS. 6 and 7 , the enclosure assembly 121 may include the heat exchanger assembly 189A (broadly, “low-pressure heat exchanger assembly 189A) for cooling process fluid received from a low-pressure portion of the fluid pump 133, and the enclosure assembly 121 may further include a high-pressure heat exchanger assembly 189B for cooling process fluid received from a high-pressure portion of the fluid pump 133. The heat exchanger assembly 189B may be similarly configured to the heat exchanger assembly 189A, though the heat exchanger assemblies 189A, 189B may have one or more differences without departing from the disclosure.

As also shown, the heat exchanger assemblies 189A, 189B are supported on a mounting frame 191 with a generally rigid body having outer frame members 199, 200 intersecting at respective joints/plates 201 that may be secured with fasteners such as bolts, screws, rivets, pins, or other fasteners as will be understood by those skilled in the art. As also shown, the mounting frame 191 is provided with one or more flanges or securing tabs 203 extending from one or more of the frame members 199, 200 and that are configured for engagement with the enclosure body 165. In this regard, the securing tabs 203 may have, for example, a generally flat or planar profile and/or may be provided with an opening for receiving a fastener therethrough. In one embodiment, the securing tabs 203 may be integrally formed with one or more of the frame members 199, 200.

The heat exchanger assemblies 189A, 189B may both be connected to the mounting frame 191 in a vertically stacked arrangement, as shown, though each heat exchanger assembly 189A, 189B may be connected to the enclosure body 165 on separate mounting frames without departing from the disclosure. In one embodiment, the mounting frame 191 may be about 0.25″ thick, and may be provided with a tolerance of about 0.1″ to about 0.2″ beyond the boundaries of the heat exchanger assemblies 189A, 189B.

In one embodiment, the mounting frame 191 may be connected to a modular panel of the side wall 167 that is sized and configured to an area larger than that of the heat exchanger assemblies 189A, 189B. In one embodiment, such modular panel may be provided with a tolerance of about 0.35″ to about 0.45″ beyond the heat exchanger assemblies 189A, 189B.

In one embodiment, and as shown in FIG. 2 , the enclosure assembly 121 may include additional or alternative heat exchangers, for example, a heat exchanger 189C for cooling process fluid associated with the turbine engine 125, a heat exchanger 189D for cooling process fluid associated with the gearbox 127, and a heat exchanger 189E for cooling process fluid associated with one or more hydraulic components of the fluid pumping system 113 (e.g., auxiliary/ancillary actuators, pumps, motors, or other hydraulic components as will be understood by those skilled in the art). It will be understood that each of the heat exchanger assemblies 189A, 189B, 189C, 189D, 189E may be sized/scaled/configured according to the process fluids upon which they are operative to cool.

As described herein, the heat exchanger assemblies 189C, 189D, 189E may have a configuration that is substantially similar to that of the heat exchanger assemblies 189A and 189B, though one or more of the heat exchanger assemblies 189A, 189B, 189C, 189D, 189E may have a different configuration without departing from the disclosure. By way of example, two or more of the one or more of the heat exchanger assemblies 189A, 189B, 189C, 189D, 189E may share a common mounting frame, housing shell, intake fan assembly, or other component as will be understood by those skilled in the art.

As shown in FIG. 2 , the heat exchanger assemblies 189A, 189B, 189C, 189D, 189E are connected to the enclosure body 165 and positioned in fluid communication with the external environment E such that when the respective intake fan assemblies 193 are driven by the respective intake fan motors 195, the intake fan assemblies 193 are operative to draw air in from the external environment E toward the respective radiator assemblies 197 to remove heat/cool the process fluids flowing therethrough, and so that they may return to respective portions of the fluid pumping system for continued lubrication/cooling of components of the fluid pumping system 113.

The aforementioned action of the intake fan assemblies 193 causes air from the external environment E to absorb heat from the radiator assemblies 197 as it passes thereby/therethrough and further into the enclosure space 122. In this regard, operation of one or more of the heat exchanger assemblies 189A, 189B, 189C, 189D, 189E may cause an ambient temperature in the enclosure space 122 of the enclosure assembly 121 to increase.

With additional reference to FIGS. 8 and 9 , one or more outlet/suction fan assemblies 209 may also be connected to the enclosure body 165. The one or more outlet fan assemblies 209 may have a similar configuration to the aforementioned intake fan assemblies 193, in that they may include one or more outlet fans, e.g., a fan 205, in operative communication with one or more respective motors, e.g., an outlet fan motor 196, such that upon receiving a driving signal or actuation force, the outlet fan motor 196 may drive the fan 205 to rotate. In one embodiment, the outlet fan assembly 209 may include a pair of fans 205 driven by one or more outlet fan motors 196. It will be understood that the one or more inlet fan assemblies 193 and the one or more outlet fan assemblies 209 may be driven by the same motor or combination of motors. Although the one or more outlet fan assemblies 209 has been described herein separately from the heat exchanger assemblies 189A, 189B, 189C, 189D, 189E, it will be understood that one or more of the heat exchanger assemblies 189A, 189B, 189C, 189D, 189E may include the one or more outlet fan assemblies 209 without departing from the disclosure.

In one embodiment, one or more of the heat exchanger assemblies 189A, 189B, 189C, 189D, 189E may be attached to the first side wall 167 of the enclosure body 165, and the outlet fan assembly 209 may be attached to the second side wall 169 of the enclosure body 165. It will be understood that the heat exchanger assemblies 189A, 189B, 189C, 189D, 189E and the outlet fan assembly 209 may be attached to the enclosure body 165 in a different arrangement without departing from the disclosure.

In this regard, upon receipt of an actuation force or driving signal, the one or more outlet fan motors 196 associated with the outlet fan assembly 209 may rotate the fan 205 to discharge air from the enclosure space 122 to the external environment E. Accordingly, the arrangement of the heat exchanger assemblies 189A, 189B, 189C, 189D, 189E and the outlet fan assembly 209 is operative to draw atmospheric/cool air in from the external environment E at the intake fan assembly 193, direct airflow toward the radiator assembly 197 to cool the process fluids flowing therethrough, and, further, to ventilate the enclosure assembly 121 by directing an airflow path A from the intake fan assembly 193 to the outlet fan assembly 209 and discharging the air from the enclosure space 122/airflow path A that has been heated from cooling the radiator assembly 197 to the external environment E at the outlet fan assembly 209.

Still referring to FIGS. 8 and 9 , in one embodiment, one or more of the heat exchanger assemblies 189A, 189B, 189C, 189D, 189E, in cooperation with the one or more outlet fan assemblies 209, is configured to replace a volume of air in the enclosure space 122 at an interval of about 30 seconds. It will be understood that the heat exchanger assemblies may be configured to replace the same or a different volume of air at a different time interval without departing from the disclosure.

Accordingly, the enclosure assembly 121 may be provided with enhanced cooling capabilities for managing excess heat generated by one or more of the DDU 123, the fluid pump 113, and various hydraulic components associated with the fluid pumping system 113. As described above, one or more of the heat exchanger assemblies 189A, 189B, 189C, 189D, 189E is operative to cool process fluid associated with one or more of the DDU 123, the fluid pump 113, and various hydraulic components associated with the fluid pumping system 113. Further, the intake fan assemblies 193 of the heat exchanger assemblies 189A, 189B, 189C, 189D, 189E direct the airflow path A through the enclosure space 122 such that, in cooperation with the outlet fan assembly 209, the air in the enclosure space 122 may be discharged to the external environment E to provide ventilation in the enclosure space 122. Such ventilation may, for example, maintain a desired temperature of the enclosure space 122, e.g., to further enhance a temperature differential between the airflow path A and the process fluid in the heat exchanger assemblies 189A, 189B, 189C, 189D, 189E.

As described herein, one or more of the motors 195, 196 may be hydraulic motors, e.g., such that a pressurized working fluid/hydraulic fluid flows therethrough to actuate the motors 195, 196.

With additional reference to FIG. 10 , a schematic diagram is provided to show a hydraulic circuit that may be used to drive one or more of the fans 205 of the respective intake fan assemblies 193. As shown, each intake fan motor 195 includes an inlet port 211 in fluid communication with a hydraulic pump 213 to receive pressurized fluid from the hydraulic pump 213 to actuate the respective intake fan motor 195. The intake fan motors 195 are also in fluid communication with a return port or outlet port 215 in fluid communication with the hydraulic pump 213 to return hydraulic fluid/working fluid to the respective hydraulic pump 213 after it has passed through/actuated the respective intake fan motor 195. Each intake fan motor 195 may also include a drain port 217 in fluid communication therewith, for example, to provide drainage of overflow/excess hydraulic fluid/working fluid, to provide a leakage path or pressure release, or other fluid release as will be understood by those skilled in the art. It will be understood that the one or more outlet fan motors 196 may be arranged/controlled in a manner similar to that described above with regard to the inlet fan motors 195.

It will be understood that the hydraulic pump 213 may be in fluid communication with the respective fluid pump 133, the turbine engine 125, the gearbox 127, and one or more hydraulic components of the fluid pumping system 113 to receive and return process fluid thereto, for example, through an arrangement of fluid lines, manifolds, valves, or other fluid conduit as will be understood by those skilled in the art. In one embodiment, each of the fluid pump 133, the turbine engine 125, the gearbox 127, and one or more hydraulic components of the fluid pumping system 113 may be associated with a separate hydraulic pump 213, or a combination of hydraulic pumps 213. In one embodiment, the motors 195 associated with the respective low-pressure portion of the fluid pump 133 and the high-pressure portion of the fluid pump 133 may share one or more common fluid lines.

Each intake fan motor 195 may have an associated solenoid 219 that includes one or more fluid valves to control the flow of hydraulic fluid/working fluid thereto and therefrom. For example, upon receipt of a predetermined electrical signal, each solenoid 219 may actuate, e.g., open or dilate, to permit the flow of hydraulic fluid/working fluid from the hydraulic pump 213 to the respective inlet port 211 and to permit the flow of hydraulic fluid/working fluid from the respective outlet portion 215 to the hydraulic pump 213. Similarly, the solenoid 219 may close, e.g., restrict or block, the flow of hydraulic fluid/working fluid therethrough upon receipt of a predetermined electrical signal, e.g., a closure signal.

While the intake fan motors 195 described herein have been described as hydraulic motors driven by pressurized hydraulic/working fluid, it will be understood that one or more of the motors 195 (or the motors 196) may be an electric motor driven by a received electrical actuation/driving signal. In one embodiment, one or more of the motors 195, 196 may be an electric motor powered from 3-phase electrical power provided by an onboard generator system capable of a voltage output of 480 V.

Turning to FIG. 11 , a schematic diagram of a control system that may be used to control the inlet fan motors 195 is illustrated. As shown, each solenoid 219 may be electrically connected to a controller 221, e.g., a programmable logic controller (PLC), an off-highway multi-controller, a processor-implemented controller, or other control feature as will be understood by those skilled in the art. In this regard, the controller 221 may be operable to actuate the solenoids 219, e.g., to selectively open and close the valves of the solenoid 219 to permit/restrict the flow of hydraulic fluid/working fluid through the respective inlet fan motors 195. It will be understood that the one or more outlet fan motors 196 may be controlled in a manner similar to that described above with regard to the inlet fan motors 195.

In this regard, the controller 221 may be configured to transmit a driving or actuation signal to the respective solenoids 219 upon receipt of a predetermined electrical signal from a thermal/temperature sensor 223 that may be in proximity to the process fluid associated with the respective turbine engine 125, gearbox 127, low-pressure portion of the pump 133, the high-pressure portion of the pump 133, and one or more hydraulic components of the fluid pumping system 113. In this regard, one or more temperature sensors 223 may be connected to the enclosure assembly 121 or components thereof. In one embodiment, the sensors 223 may be disposed along a fluid line between the outlet port/return portion 215 of the respective motor 195 and the hydraulic pump 213 and/or a respective reservoir for the process fluid carried therethrough.

In one embodiment, the sensors 223 may be digital thermometers or another electronic sensor that may receive/absorb heat from the associated respective turbine engine 125, gearbox 127, low-pressure portion of the pump 133, the high-pressure portion of the pump 133, and one or more hydraulic components of the fluid pumping system 113, and transmit a corresponding electrical signal to the controller 221. If the respective electrical signal corresponds to a temperature that is at or above a predetermined value or threshold, for example, set by regulation or OEMs, the controller 221 may signal the respective solenoid 219 to open the respective valves.

It will be understood that such actuation of the solenoids 219 may be performed at a constant or predetermined time interval, on-demand, e.g., if and when a predetermined signal is received from the sensors 223, and/or may be performed proportionally to the temperature of the enclosure space 122, e.g., so that determining and monitoring greater/lesser temperatures in the enclosure space 122, the controller 221 will proportionally increase/decrease the flow rate of hydraulic/working fluid flowing through the respective intake fan motors 195, and consequently, the speed of the respective associated fans 205.

In one embodiment, one or more of the sensors 223 may include an analog device configured to receive/absorb heat and product a corresponding analog electrical signal without any intermediate processing steps, for example, as in a thermocouple, resistance temperature detector (RTD), or temperature switch. Such analog electrical signal may be a raw value determined by the controller 221 or other processor to correspond to a temperature of the enclosure space 122.

While the hydraulic circuit and control of the respective fans 205 has been described above with regard to the heat exchanger assemblies 189A, 189B, 189C, 189D, 189E, it will be understood that the fans 205 of the outlet fan assembly 209 may be driven and controlled in the same or a similar manner.

Still other embodiments of the disclosure, as shown in FIGS. 1-11 , also include methods of enhancing cooling during operation of a hydraulic fracturing direct drive unit (DDU) having a turbine engine mechanically connected to a gearbox. An embodiment of a method may include operating the DDU to drive a driveshaft operatively connected to a fluid pump such that one or more of the turbine engine and the fluid pump generates and heats process fluid, for example, a lubrication or other lubrication medium, and/or a hydraulic/working fluid. The method may include detecting a temperature in an enclosure space of an enclosure assembly housing the DDU with one or more temperature sensors, and, further, controlling one or more intake fan assemblies of one or more heat exchanger assemblies in the enclosure space to draw air from an external environment into an airflow through the enclosure space based upon a temperature signal detected by the one or more temperature sensors. In this regard, the method may include cooling the process fluid by directing airflow from the one or more intake fan assemblies toward one or more radiator assemblies of the one or more heat exchangers carrying the process fluid. The method may further include controlling one or more outlet fan assemblies to discharge airflow heated by the cooling of the process fluid to the external environment to maintain a desired temperature in the enclosure space.

In view of the foregoing, the disclosed embodiments of enclosure assemblies for DDUs may provide for enhanced cooling by the configuration and arrangement of one or more heat exchangers that cool one or more process fluids associated with the DDU and/or an associated fluid pumping system while also providing ventilation and cooling of an enclosure space within the enclosure assembly. In addition to the enhanced cooling of the DDU provided by such an arrangement, the footprint of the enclosure assembly may be minimized and the management of associated power systems may be streamlined.
